The only way i can think of programmatically to set a text box readonly is to set an element value in the DOM and have conditional formatting for the text box based on the value of this element

If the text box read only status needs to be saved across Infopath sessions then you can either have this value in the secondary DOM and reset it OnLoad or have this value this value in the Main dom so that it is saved.

Does this help?

hi Shanthi, thanks for the reply :)

hmmm i've tried the 2nd approach u suggested before n it really didn't work as what i expected.

do u know the semantic for setting a control to be "read-only" programmatically though?

You can do this by having conditional formatting set based on a
secondary DOM field value and set that field value as you want it in the onLoad function.

There is also the option to set conditional formatting directly and mention that if the field contains some value then make it read only -> but remember if you do this the field will become read only once a user enters some data into the field and clicks out of it.
